Please note: This is an audio recording only.

Overview:
Dignity Therapy (DT) is a life-review intervention for people facing advanced illness. A key feature of DT is the production of a legacy document that can be shared with loved ones. In 2016 the NIH funded a clinical trial to examine the impact of chaplain or nurse-led DT for cancer patients receiving out-patient palliative care. This is believed to be the first NIH-funded study of a chaplain-delivered intervention. Chaplains who delivered the intervention will describe their experience and views about using DT in spiritual care. The findings from the clinical trial and a related pilot study will also be reported.

Learning Objectives:
  • Participants will become familiar with the basic features of Dignity Therapy for patients with advanced illness
  • Participants will learn the perspectives of chaplains who have provided Dignity Therapy
  • Participants will hear evidence of the impact of chaplain and nurse-led Dignity Therapy on palliative care outpatients
